Is this Frank Thomas Legit?
I picked this up at a Flea Market today at a price that was worth taking a gamble. I did a search and the auto seems to look legit, but I do not have a certificate of authenticy. Do you guys think its real? Whats the best/cheapest way for me to get it authenticated? BTW it is for sale is anyone is interested.

RE: Is this Frank Thomas Legit?
I tried to compare it to other autos at the time and they look pretty identical. Here's a link to a PSA/DNA certified auto

They look really close

RE: Is this Frank Thomas Legit?
1. ALL in-person autos are fake unless you obtained them.
--1a. not that it is necessarily fake, but you have no way of knowing for sure (happy pacrim?)
2. PSA are not Gods. They make mistakes.
3. You want this to be real, but there is no way you can know for sure. since you dont know, because you didnt obtain it, it's fake. see rule #1
4. if you really like it, and think it is real, it is real
5. unless you are going to resell it, then it is fake fake fake
6. Unless you get it authenticated by a reputable service, like PSA. But remember rule #2 - mistakes go both ways
